Thank you everyone for your positive comments - you have no idea how much it means to me.

The past couple of days, I haven't made it to the gym - this month TOM is really making me sick! So I didn't want to work out because my workout is so intense. I hope to make it back by this Tuesday.

I did get my new diet stuff but won't go to Herbalife until next month - it's kind of a waste to go on it right now because I have so much coming up.

Next Saturday - is our engagement photos.....I finally get to wear my new outfit and new shoes.....I hope to have the time to get my nails done and pedicure done also (and maybe an eyebrow wax)

The weekend after I am going to Salem, MA for a mini vacation....We have a Bed and Breakfast that we always stay at - it is just so relaxing!

Then the weekend after that we are going to New York to see Wicked and to also check out the "World of Disney" store and maybe even do some Christmas shopping.

So with all of this going on I am sure that I will fall off of my good habits but hey....That's why I am working hard too....to keep up the work and not worry about fitting in the wedding dress! Plus they say that muscle burns off more calories faster and I am definetely getting muscles

I can't wait to get these photos taken! Well, have a great week everyone! I hope to check in by Tuesday!

I'm going to keep this one really short - Today I got such bad news! The woman that I was walking with for awhile was killed in a car accident over the weekend.

I feel so incredibly bad that I didn't keep in better contact with her - I absolutely loved her she was so positive! Oh, my god - I feel so bad!

 

[CheapMom]

Oh Jodi- I am so sorry. I will say a prayer for you and for your friend and her family.

Oh Jodi

I am so sorry sweetie. I pray that God would give you and her family strength during this very difficult time.

Thank you Tracy and Mary - I can't explain it, I don't feel like I knew Denise that long but actually when I sit back and think how long I actually knew her it was over a year! I remember her when she found out that I was engaged - she was so excited for me!

I still can't believe that it even happened - tomorrow and Thursday are the days of the wake. I will most likely be there tomorrow.

I will also hopefully make it to the gym tomorrow night! My DF is so sweet he is going with me to the wake. He knows I get way too emotional at these things.

Well, other than all of this, this weekend I will be getting the engagement photos done - I also have to make my cookies for the bake off for next Tuesday, hopefully they will keep. I will make them Sunday.

I haven't had the chance to check everyone elses journal - I hope to get to that by the end of the week - I hope all of you are doing well!

Hi Everyone,
Well, today was the day of Denise's funeral. I actually bumped into a lot of old friends from my previous work place. I hope to stay in touch a little bit better with them now but then again sometimes that is a hard thing to do. I live over a half hour away from most of them. I still can't believe Denise is no longer with us but to know that she is smiling up above us gives me a warm feeling too!

Okay, enough of the depressing stuff Tomorrow we are getting our engagement photos done! I can't wait. Although, my breakout has not gone away I did find some great makeup that will cover the breakout (thank god). Wish me luck that my breakout doesn't show at all in the pictures.

I haven't been to the gym in two weeks - I feel so bad but last week TOM came and I just felt sick and this week I haven't felt good but I hope to get to the gym on Sunday and start up again. I would say start on Monday but the gym is mobbed on Mondays.

I've kept up good with my eating and actually the other day my boss even commented that I looked like I was loosing weight.

Looking forward to next weekend - I really need to relax some!

Well, I hope that everyone else is doing well - I haven't had time to check the other journals but hope to!

Engagement photos went well yesterday although I was freezing for most of the day. It was a beautiful day but the wind cut right through us. I even got my hair done before - I just hope that it held up in the pictures. I will know in a week

Looking really forward to this coming weekend! I can't wait to go to Salem with my DF. I've been looking forward to this for over a month now.

Not much else going on this weekend.

Hope everyone else is having a wonderful weekend.

Jodi

Hi Jodi,
I'm glad the photos went well. I'm sure you looked great ! I'm sorry to hear about your friend Denise . Things like that just seem so senseless .

I hope you have a wonderful weekend in Salem!

 

[DoeWDW]

Jodi, I'm so sorry to hear the news of your friend's passing.

I do hope your engagement photos turn out well. I bet you look absolutely beautiful!! I'm hoping that mayber you'll post one???

So it's back to the gym on Sunday? All the down time has probably been great for your muscles - gives them plenty of time to repair themselves and get ready for the next big workout.

Your weekend in Salem sounds like fun - hope the weather is perfect and you have a fabulous time!

 

[vald1977]

Hi Jodi,

[jodistar]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking so forward to this weekend. We leave early tomorrow.

Hi Jodi!

How was your weekend? Did you have a fun and relaxing time? Have a great Tuesday!

Tracy

Hi Jodi,
I hope your weekend was fabulous !

 

[DoeWDW]

Hi Jodi!!!

It's Wednesday now, and you mentioned getting back to the gym on Tuesday - was that yesterday??? If so, I hope you had a great workout and are feeling just the right amount of sore - enough to know your muscles were challenged but not enough that you are hobbling!

 

[jodistar]

Hi Everyone!!!

Sorry I have been away for so long - I didn't get back to my workout yet! I so badly want to get back to it but this past Monday I went to the dermatologist and she prescribed antibotics and I have been so sick the past couple of days....Yesterday at work was the worst, I got sick while at work....Today I barely ate because I was afraid that I would get sick again - I just want my adult acne to go away....I never all my life had acne and now it is all catching up on me. I feel so ugly - that's another reason, I just don't want to leave the house. Once it starts to go away again I'll be fine.

So anyway, since I'm not eating much - I guess I am doing well with a diet, in a way.

On another note - I had a wonderful weekend in Salem. Me and my DF are so alike. All of you know how I was planning a surprise photo session at the Magic Kingdom and MGM for our honeymoon next year, right? Well, I got one certificate for his birthday and the other for Christmas. I decided to surprise him with the b-day one while away on vacation in Salem -- It just seemed like an intimate kind of gift so I wanted to give one of the certificates that way.

I usually take a shower before him and leave him sleeping, so I did that but left the certificate out and wrote a little note (love note) and when I came out of the shower he had this weird expression on his face and I asked is something wrong, don't you like the idea of taking photos while on our honeymoon? Well, it turns out that he did the same thing, only he did it for my b-day and it was the Magic Kingdom and he told me how it wasn't a big deal and he could reschedule for my second favorite (MGM) park....I had to break the news that I scheduled one there too and was going to give that to him for Christmas....So now he is going to reschedule for Epcot. I just thought that it was kind of weird but now I'm excited three sessions during our honeymoon at Disney World.....I love my man

Well, I hope everyone else is doing well - I will get back to my workout and diet....I promise but it might not happen for a little bit, like the beginning of the next month.

Hope the medication starts working for you soon. Sorry you haven't been feeling well. Adult acne stinks. It will get better. That is cool to hear of the pictures. Have a good weekend.
